Effluent Pumping Systems

ProSTEP™

Protects, Transports, FiltersMore than twenty years ago, Orenco Systems®, Inc. pioneered and packaged themodern filtering pump vault for onsite wastewater collection and treatment.Today, about 150,000 ProSTEP Effluent Pumping Systems are in service all overthe world. They transport and filter wastewater from watertight septic tanks anddosing tanks, protecting “downstream” lines, drainfields, and other treatmentsystems. The pump vault’s patented* Biotube® filter has several times the capaci-ty of other filters and removes about two-thirds of suspended solids, on average.

“Easy Access” Design Aids Maintenance The pump vault’s “easy access” design allows service providers to remove theBiotube® filter cartridge without pulling the pump or vault. And the float assem-bly’s quick-release float stem and adjustable float collars make it easy to removeand adjust.

Quality Components Outlast OthersProSTEP™ Effluent Pumping Systems are superiorin quality and outlast other brands. Constructed ofstainless steel, thermoplastic, and fiberglass, they’recorrosion-resistant and durable, reducing lifetime system costs.

Advanced Controls AvailableFor a modest incremental cost, advanced controlpanels are available . . . control panels that givepeace of mind to property owners, system design-ers, contractors, service providers, and regulators.MVP digital programmable panels allow easy, accurate setting of multiple parameters and the useof one type of float for all functions. VeriComm® remote telemetry panels are coupled with the Web-based VeriComm® Monitoring System, which verifies,monitors, records, and communicates system operation round-the-clock, whileremaining invisible to the homeowner.
